In 2025, Pitru Paksha presents a rare and auspicious astrological alignment, offering a golden period for balancing Manglik Dosha. For those struggling with delayed marriages, relationship challenges, family discord or wanting deeper peace in partnerships, this two-week window (September 7 to 21) is significant not only for honoring ancestors but also for appeasing Mars’s fiery influence, correcting astrological imbalances and strengthening soulmate bonds.
On September 13, Mars shifts into Libra, the sign of balance and partnership. This happens in the heart of Pitru Paksha, a spiritual fortnight when ancestors’ blessings are closest to earth. The fusion of Mars’s energy and ancestral rites creates a powerhouse for healing personal and family karma.
Ritual Calendar, Astrological Alignment and Remedies: Pitru Paksha 2025
| Date | Event | Significance |
|---|---|---|
| September 7 | Pitru Paksha Starts | Commencement of Shraddha, Tarpan, ancestral worship |
| September 13 | Mars Transits Libra | Optimum time for Manglik Dosha corrections |

During these days, not only are ancestors’ presences easier to invoke, Mars brings a wave of energy to relationships, marriages and partnered endeavors. It is a cosmic call to act and heal simultaneously at both family and soul levels for maximum benefit.
Manglik Dosha and Mars Transit Explained: What Makes This Combination So Strong?
What Is Manglik Dosha and How Does Mars Work?
Manglik Dosha occurs when Mars is posited in the 1st, 4th, 7th, 8th or 12th house in the natal chart. Classical texts associate this Dosha with delays, friction, lack of harmony and recurring strife in relationships. Mars symbolizes valor, fire, ambition and drive, yet when unfocused or unbalanced, it brings unchecked temper, impulsive actions and instability.
Mars in Libra (sign ruled by Venus) magnifies themes of balance and harmony versus conflict and disruption. Libra is peace-loving, diplomatic and focuses on partnership, making Mars rather uneasy and often stirring up both positive and opposing currents.
| House | Manglik Impact |
|---|---|
| 1, 4, 7, 8, 12 | Delayed marriage, impulsivity, high ambition, marital discord |
Texts like Manu Smriti and Brihat Jataka cast Mars as the signifier of war and youthful impulse. Balancing its force requires conscious effort, especially when Mars is partnered with a period of powerful ancestral energy as in Pitru Paksha.
Why Do Jupiter and Pitru Paksha Alignment Multiply the Remedy’s Effect?
Decades of empirical evidence show that whenever Mars transits Libra during Pitru Paksha, the effects on disputes, debt, partner communication and relationship harmony are magnified-but so is the efficacy of correction. Ancestral energy and planetary shifts together allow rituals to clear both deep-rooted karma and immediate challenges at once, resulting in faster, more lasting peace.
Who Feels the Greatest Impact?
Aries
Mars is your ruler, so any change in its placement influences your core energy and interactions. This season, focus on self-control, gratitude, Shraddha for ancestors and Hanuman prayers to temper intensity. Couples should integrate patience and understanding.
Cancer
This alignment impacts your family sector. Include white foods (milk, rice), calm rituals and ancestor-focused offerings. Spiritual discipline keeps home harmony strong and emotional volatility can be tamed through focused Tarpan and steady action.
Libra
Mars in your sign ignites restlessness and may make romantic life unsettled. Embrace black sesame offerings during Shraddha, Tuesday charity and temple visits with red flowers. Meditation and deliberate calmness bring balance back.
Scorpio
Mars amplifies hidden tension and calls for closure of old wounds. Use iron, urad dal and charity; chant Hanuman Chalisa. Refrain from accusations and instead, use this season to establish renewed trust.
Pisces
Mars cuts across shared resources, intimacy and security. Include red lentil charity, ghee lamps (in southwest corners) and practical honesty in relationships. For singles, rituals may help clear marital blocks.
